My Video on Molecular Biology

As I wrote earlier, I've run out of gas with respect to posting new insights on Alzheimer's research. But I'm still busy (and still OK). One thing I did was to post a YouTube video intended to update Baby Boomers on what's happened in the world of biology since we were in the 10th grade. It's relevant to an understanding of recent revelations in Alzheimer's research. You can see it by clicking here

It does dig fairly deeply into molecular biology, and it's likely to go too deep for many of you. Also, I have some questions about how all of this makes sense, and I may disappoint some of you in where I go with it. Here is the index:

Chapters 00:00 - 02:22 - Introduction 02:23 - 06:20 - On the philosophy of science 06:21 - 08:52 - Religion vs. science 08:53 - 10:40 - Biology - Then and now 10:41 - 14:15 - Organelles and the cell membrane 14:16 - 18:13 - DNA - What is it, what does it do? 18:14 - 19:07 - Prokaryotes and eukaryotes 19:08 - 23:12 - DNA replication 23:13 - 26:32 - Mitosis 26:33 - 27:57 - Meiosis 27:58 - 29:25 - Charles Darwin on how evolution proceeds 29:26 - 34:23 - The Central Dogma and protein synthesis 34:24 - 41:38 - Energy processing in the cell 41:39 - 44:50 - Cellular respiration 44:51 - 45:17 - Utilization of energy within the cell 45:18 - 47:33 - The origin of life and the Cambrian Explosion 47:34 - 49:48 - Do the numbers add up? 49:49 - 50:23 - Gene regulatory networks 50:24 - 52:34 - Darwin's very dangerous idea 52:35 - 53:13 - The chicken ... or the egg? 53:14 - 54:14 - Evolution and sickle cell anemia 54:15 - 55:05 - Evolution and the Peppered Moth 55:06 - 58:36 - Hypotheses on how organisms might increase in complexity 58:37 - 01:00:20 - The universal acid 01:00:21 - 01:01:47 - Back to the Cambrian Explosion 01:01:48 - 01:02:08 - The work of an engineer? 01:02:09 - The bacterial flagellal motor

  1. Make me a promise Bianca, my mother said. "Promise me you won't put me in a home or make me live with one of your sisters". It was a joke at the time when my mom was just starting to forget things. 06/08/2019 was the hardest day of my life. Watching my mom talk to herself, packing her things 2-3 times a day, saying she has to go home. It was heartbreaking. I broke down and cried with her a few times and then I realized how hard it must be on my dad too. He can't leave the house, he has to convince her that she lives in their house. I came to the decision to quit my job. My dad needs help. I live 7 hours away but instead of visiting my parents, I'll be visiting my husband. My mom has always been there for me and been my best friend so I want to be there for her. I keep telling myself that I can snap her out of it. I got her numerous medications including DONEPEZIL and MEMANTINE instead of helping her, they almost destroyed her due to the side effects. As I was reading more about Dementia on the internet, I met with some comments of people testifying about Dr. Rohan and his BRONGEE HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS that it works for Alzheimer's and Dementia. I contacted the doctor immediately and explained my mother's condition to him, he assured me that my mom will be fine and her memory will come back to normal. I ordered his Herbal Supplements and it was delivered to me by the DHL Express company in less than a week with instructions on how to use them attached in the package. After 3 weeks of using these herbs, we began to see improvement, after 6 months my mom was better, and it's been 2 years now and my mom is completely free from this horrible disease. In case your loved one is suffering from Alzheimer's /Dementia I will advise you to use BRONGEE HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS. You can contact Dr. Rohan via email; dr.rohanronjohn@gmail.com it may also help you.
